"Jon Lovett is dating a staffer"

Are him and Ronan Farrow not together anymore?

They aren't. I think they broke up a couple years ago. I remember someone here mentioning it

If I remember correctly, it was never announced. I think people pieced it together when Roman started posting like he was single.

No I don't hate my bosses

There always going to be issues when you go from a small company to a larger one. The org I'm working for dealing with this.

You can't operate like you previously did. You might have been OK when it was only 4 people w/ 12 hr days but that is not ok for staff.

Even if Lovett didn't date the guy until a year later he was already friendly/favored by him. And I'm sure that had an influence even if indirectly.

I can see how the younger staff would have been inspired by the work they had done but thier politics are further left then the founders.

I don't think discussing Gaza 1 on 1 is nearly enough.

I’ve listened since near the beginning and they have always been pretty moderate, I don’t know why this is a surprise.

I wonder how much longer Lovett will stay, dating a staffer is a bad look but also he seems to want more fame now.

I can tell you that he's not Jon Lovitz, who I constantly think he is.

Now that I think about it, have we ever seen Jon Lovitz and Jon Lovett in the same room 🤔
